What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

accounting-cutover scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 19d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Guide a company through an accounting migration without changing its Ledger until the user has reviewed the preview and explicitly confirmed the import.

1. Inspect the current setup

  • Call get_accounting_setup for the relevant fiscal year.
  • Note the current SKR framework, existing cutover state and any previously imported entries.
  • Do not switch SKR03 or SKR04 automatically. A framework switch has broader accounting consequences and requires its own explicit confirmation.

2. Collect and analyze source files

  • Upload the available DATEV files or supporting documents and retain their short-lived file_ref values.
  • Call analyze_accounting_cutover_documents with all related files together.
  • Present the detected file roles, fiscal periods, likely SKR framework and any ambiguity to the user.
  • Ask for a replacement file when a reference has expired.

File limits enforced by the Accounting API:

  • 1 to 20 files per analysis
  • 20 MB per file and 100 MB in total
  • PDFs may be analyzed as supporting evidence, but opening-balance and booking-stack inputs for Preview and Apply must be machine-readable DATEV or CSV files

3. Choose the migration scenario

  • formation: a newly formed GmbH or UG with legal opening entries
  • year_start: prior-year closing balances become this year's opening balances
  • mid_year: opening balances plus all bookings through the cutover date

Choose opening_method=datev when an opening-balance file exists. Choose opening_method=manual only when the user wants to enter non-zero account balances directly. Manual rows require account_code, side (debit or credit), amount, and may include memo.

4. Preview before writing

  • Call preview_accounting_cutover with the complete set of dates, files and manual rows.
  • Explain reconciliation totals, detected periods, blockers and warnings in plain language.
  • Treat Preview as read-only. It does not write Ledger entries.
  • Resolve every blocking finding before proceeding.
